Little Italy makes shopping for your food staples easy, with a massive variety of fruits, veggies, vegan alternatives, fine cheeses and freshly baked goods within a short walk of each other. This neighbourhood has your entire shopping list — at any budget —covered.
No neighbourhood is complete without a solid grocery store for all the basic products we need to get us through each week. Metro has a large selection of cereal and breakfast items, baking supplies, utensils and frozen or baked goods. Take advantage of the coupons available online and link your Air Miles card to get even more great deals. The store website is easy to navigate for those shoppers who like to do their research for the best deals.
Vegetarians and vegans, look no further for all your dietary requirements. Fresh produce is available daily, with deliveries to the shop occurring throughout the week. College Fruit Market has reasonable prices and a great selection that caters to the local student crowd and budget-conscious consumers. The eggs are often cheaper here than at the supermarket and you'll find a distinct focus on local and organic. This fruit market should be a go-to stop for every local resident.
“Vegetarian butcher” sounds like an oxymoronic phrase, but it really isn’t. The shop offers professional butcher service for preparing all of your veggies to save you time on dinner. But Yamchops also features an array of meatless dishes ready for the oven or stove – including beet burgers, vegan “chicken” cutlets and salads. You won't find another shop offering the same dedication to vegetarian and vegan grocery staples anywhere in the city.
Chances are excellent that the Little Italy grocery store nearest to you does not have as wide a selection of cheeses as La Fromagerie. Of course, they also provide fine meats, bread and a huge variety of olives – you might think that you've somehow landed in Greece. Since 2005, the owner has offered many varieties of cheese to satisfy your dairy cravings and has helped to increase Little Italy’s foot traffic with his shop's offerings.
